No, not inc reaction time. A FWD is never going to get 60ft times like EVO's etc, especially not one like Jacqs, approximately 400 bhp (most likely over) and FWD, it doesn't exactly hook up and go in 1st, especially at Crail in Scotland which is a rough disused airfield. Would love to get it on Avon or Santa Pod though and get some traction, see how it gets on.
At the same strip, Crail, my Skyline GTR did a 1.7 60ft, and a 12.6 @ 108 1/4mile off of that, my Rover could only do a 2.21 60ft, but a 12.8 @ 114mph 1/4 mile once it got grip and got going, and that was it 2 years before I sold it, it was much faster than that by the time it sold, it would still only have done a 2.1-2.2 60ft at best on crails surface, car weight and traction given from tyres is limited, once they grip then the pwoer comes into it. 4wd's can split the power between 4 points instead of 2, so they launch better, in reality my 13 year old 2 litre turbo rover would have made my R32 GTr skyline look like a milk float acceleration wise. Skyline was 340/350 bhp, Rover was 331 bhp, 296 lb/ft without gas, 380 bhp with gas. Skyline had 4wd losses and weighed 1450kg, rover had 2wd losses and weighed 1050kg.
Ross.
PS - once rolling it'd take a big bhp number in a scoob or evo to keep up with Jacqs t4, given the 4wd losses and extra weight, probably in the 450-500 bhp region at a guess.
